Speaking about the association, Goutam Maiti, Vice President, Schoolnet said, Along with the Government of West Bengal, we share a joint vision to enable every child in the state to succeed. The interactive digital learning platform covers Science, Mathematics, and English for students of classes 5 to 8, and English, Mathematics, Physical Science, Life Science, History, and Geography for classes 9 and 10, the statement said.įurthermore, the latest West Bengal State Board textbooks will be presented in a digital format, allowing students to re-learn what they have been taught in school. The tenure is primarily for one year which is mutually extendable in the future. In addition, Schoolnet will be providing a multi-lingual career guidance portal to the School Education Department especially for students from Classes 9 to 12 for future career advancement. The initial tie-up is for one year, officials said. Schemes such as the Harvard-Kyoto one are more suited for ASCII-derivative keyboards and use upper- and lower-case letters contrastively, so forgo normal standards for English capitalization.The pupils of state-run and government-aided schools will be able to access the portal through the official website of West Bengal's School Education Department. Many standards (like NLK/ISO), use diacritic marks and permit case markings for proper nouns. Two standards are commonly used for transliteration of Indic languages, including Bengali. Nowadays, various romanization systems for Bengali are used, most of which do not perfectly represent Bengali pronunciation. In the late 18th century, romanization schemes based on the French and the English alphabet were developed and utilized. However, the Portuguese-based romanization did not take root.

The first people to employ the Latin alphabet in writing Bengali books were Portuguese missionaries stationed in Bengal in the 16th century. Romanization of Bengali is the representation of written Bengali language in the Latin script. Vowels and consonants are used as alphabet and also as diacritical marks. The Bengali script can be divided into vowels and vowel diacritics/marks, consonants and consonant conjuncts (representing consonant clusters), diacritical and other symbols, digits, and punctuation marks. It is recognizable, as are other Brahmic scripts, by a distinctive horizontal line known as মাত্রা (matra) running along the tops of the letters that links them together. Today, the script holds official script status in Bangladesh and India, and it is associated with the daily life of Bengalis.įrom a classificatory point of view, the Bengali script is an abugida: its vowel graphemes are mainly realized not as independent letters, but as diacritics modifying the vowel inherent in the base letter they are added to.īengali script is written from left to right and has no distinct letter cases. It later continued to be specifically used in the Bengal region. The Bengali script was originally not associated with any particular language but was often used in the eastern regions of the Middle kingdoms of India and then in the Pala Empire.
